The original Diavel design centred on a low, long silhouette with a visually substantial front and a short, sporty tail. Side-mounted radiators formed broad shoulders, while the front wheel sat close to the body. These proportions suggested readiness to move even when the motorcycle was stationary.
The V4 generation continues that contrast with a 240 mm rear tyre and a slender tail. Passenger pegs and the grab handle disappear when unused. A matrix of more than a hundred LED points beneath the tail gives the rear its distinctive light pattern. The model received Red Dot’s Best of the Best recognition in 2024.
Colour can bring out those forms differently. The 2025 model-year Black Roadster version, unveiled at Intermot 2024, combined black and titanium tones with Racing Yellow accents on the tank, tail and side panels. The seat covering changed too.
